It supplements the information in the R£leme Notes book that comes with the NEXTSTEP CD-ROM. Any further critical information about Release 3.3 will be provided in NeXTanswersTU document #1719. Contact N eXTanswers as described in the R£leme Notes book, and request that document. The document may be empty if there's no more critical information about Release 3.3. Installing and upgrading • If you're installing NEXTSTEP on an Intel-based computer using a device driver that isn't on the original NEXTSTEP Device Drivers floppy disk, you may see the message "biosread errors" or "Can't find lusrIDevices" after you install the NEXTSTEP essentials and restart the computer. If this happens, do the following: 1 Tum off the computer. 2 Insert the NEXTSTEP Installation Disk floppy disk. 3 Tum on the computer. 4 At the boot: prompt, type the following if you're installing NEXTSTEP on a SCSI disk: config=sd()Default Type this if you're installing NEXTSTEP on an IDE disk: config=hd()Default 5 Press Return and continue with the installation process as described on page 17 of I nstolling and Configuring NEXTSTEP R£lcme 3.3for I nul Processors and NeXT" Computers. • On rare occasions, you might have to reset your computer's time zone after upgrading to Release 3.3. You'll know this is the case if, after the upgrade is complete, Upgrader reports that it couldn't make hard links to various zone information files. Just restart the computer as usual and use the Preferences application to set the proper time. 1 3.3 Release Notes Addendum Printing • Parallel printing doesn't work on SPARCstation 5 workstations. Keyboards • Typing Shift-hyphen using the UK keyboard arrangement incorrectly produces an en-dash (-) instead of an underscore U. To get an underscore, you must type Alternate-hyphen. Or you can remap Shift-hyphen to correctly type an underscore using the Keyboard application in lNextDeveloperlDemos. For information on using Keyboard, choose Help from its Info menu. NednfoManager • Don't use NetlnfoManager to create a clone NetlnfoTlol server on an Intel-based computer. Instead, you must replace the Release 3.3 version of nibindd with the Release 3.2 version of nibindd. Then use the nidomain command with the -c option by typing this in a Terminal window: nidomain -c tagl master/tag2 where tog1 is the name of the clone's database you're creating, tag2 is the name of the server's database you're cloning, and moster is the host name of the computer where that server resides. (In most cases tag1 and tag2 ought to be the same.) If you do try to create a clone in NetInfoManager using either the Manage Hierarchy or Servers command, you end up with a partial database that you then must delete. This database looks like a valid member of the domain hierarchy but it has a number of inadequacies, including a single entry for Imachines/master that has a reversed Internet address. To delete the partial database, type in a Terminal window: nidornain -d tag where tag is the name of the partial database. Then create the clone properly as described above. • Note that to use the nidomain -c command to create a clone NetInfo server on an Intel-based computer, as described above, your computer must be running the Release 3.2 version of nibindd, not the Release 3.3 version.

  • An Introduction to Sysadmin Training in the Virtual Unix Lab
    EuroBSDCon 2004 Karlsruhe, Germany: An Introduction to Sysadmin Training in the Virtual Unix Lab Hubert Feyrer <[email protected]> October 31st, 2004 Abstract The Virtual Unix Lab (vulab) is an interactive course system which allows students to do Unix system administration exercises. Machines are installed on which students can do their assignments with full ”root”-access. At the end, the system checks which parts were done correctly, and gives a feedback on the exercise result. Access to the lab is via the Internet via a web-browser as well as standard Unix clients (ssh, telnet, ftp). Some detail on exercise-verification are outlined in this paper.

Without system ad- ministrator (root) privileges, many things cannot be practiced. On the other handside, when handing out root privileges, the lab machines are in an unknown state, requiring reinstalla- tion of the lab machines for future students to get a known safe & well-configured environ- ment. The Virtual Unix Lab was created to solve this problem.

  • Glunix: a Global Layer Unix for a Network of Workstations
    GLUnix: a Global Layer Unix for a Network of Workstations Douglas P. Ghormley, David Petrou, Steven H. Rodrigues, Amin M. Vahdat, and Thomas E. Anderson fghormdpetrousteverodvahdatteagcsberkeleyedu Computer Science Division University of California at Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720 August 14, 1997 Abstract Recent improvements in network and workstation performance have made clusters an attractive architecture for diverse workloads, including sequential and parallel interactive applications. However, although viable hardware solutions are avail- able today, the largest challenge in making such a cluster usable lies in the system software. This paper describes the design and implementation of GLUnix, an operating system layer for a cluster of workstations. GLUnix is designed to provide trans- parent remote execution, support for interactive parallel and sequential jobs, load balancing, and backward compatibility for existing application binaries. GLUnix is a multi-user, user-level system which was constructed to be easily portable to a num- ber of platforms. GLUnix has been in daily use for over two years and is currently running on a 100-node cluster of Sun UltraSparcs. Perfor- mance measurements indicate a 100-node parallel program can be run in 1.3 seconds and that the centralized GLUnix master is not the performance bottleneck of the system. This paper relates our experiences with designing, building, and running GLUnix. We evaluate the original goals of the project in contrast with the final features of the system. The GLUnix architecture and implementation are presented, along with performance and scalability measurements. The discussion focuses on the lessons we have learned from the system, including a characterization of the limitations of a user-level implementation and the social considerations encountered when supporting a large user community.
